Code folding is one of those "features" that I practically never use. The reason is that in some tools the feature doesn't play well with the incremental search. More important is that there's some kind of people that think that a 3000 thousand lines file folded into methods, properties and constants is "nicer". (Trust me they exist)

Some days ago I got some kind of Emacs-fever thanks to the Emacs wiki. I set-up the jabber client, fixed that nasty behaviour with the clipboard and discovered the outline-minor-mode.

The outline-minor-mode is basically a mode for hierarchical text folding. I'm not going to spend my time giving an explanation having this

The mechanism behind this mode is so simple but yet so powerful. Is just a regex.. The hierarchy of the folding depends on the size of the regex match.

I was going to write something completely different but I had some troubles copying the source code to my blog. I Usually use a little script from Steve Yegge for copying the highlighted text from Emacs to Html.

It had some strange trouble converting the RGB colors and it was not setting the values of the default font.

After thinking about it carefully I have decided to start writing my "Programming" blog in English. I don't think I'm going to lose any of the current readers (Is there any reader out there???) but instead, this can be the perfect exercise for improving my horrible English.

It would be really nice if you can point out any nasty grammatical mistake or misuse in the words (I have a really a bad time with some phrasal verbs)
